The 2015 CSSHL Championships will take place March 12-15, 2015 in Penticton, British Columbia. The four-day event will be jointly run by the Okanagan Hockey Academy and Global Spectrum Facility Management L.P., with support from the City of Penticton and the Penticton Hospitality Association. All 33 CSSHL teams will be in Penticton for the event, which will be run out of the South Okanagan Events Centre, OHS Training Centre, Memorial Arena and McLaren Park Arena.
Spectators will be able to watch top-end prospects compete over the course of the event, including nine, first-round selections from the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. In just six short years, the CSSHL has seen an abundance of players move on to the next level, such as current Ottawa Senators forward and 2015 World Junior champion, Curtis Lazar, as well as current Minnesota Wild defenceman, Matt Dumba.
Full event passes cost $30, while one-day passes cost $15. Tickets are available online at www.valleyfirsttix.com, in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC or the Wine Country Visitor Centre. Go to csshl.ca to view the full schedule.
The CSSHL is made up of 11 sports schools across Alberta, British Columbia and Idaho. While the majority of CSSHL players hail from Western Canada, players also come from all over the world to join their respective programs, including across Canada and the United States, as well as Mexico and 16 countries outside of North America.
